5 Amazing Halal Burgers to Make at Home

Burgers aren’t just fast food. They come with infinite possibility and they’re breaking out of their buns! Here’s how to make delicious halal burgers at home Burgers needn’t always come sandwiched between heavy slices of bread. They can be an inexpensive meat accompaniment, served alongside salad and sauces and potatoes or rice, as a substitute for cuts of meat, as part of varied, healthy dinners. Of course you can buy ready-made delicious, high-quality halal burgers, but you can make them more interesting by crafting your own at home. Here are the basics of a patty mix…

Simply light fry the onions in oil. Reduce the heat, add the garlic, and cook just long enough to remove the raw smell. Then mix the cooked onion and garlic in with the minced meat and other ingredients. Mould the mixture with your hands, ensuring an even spread of ingredients. Separate into individual balls, mould and flatten, creating a slight dip in the centre of each to make sure the burgers cook evenly. Leave them to firm-up in the fridge, covered in clingfilm, for at least 30 minutes before cooking. When you cook, don’t be tempted to press the burgers down against the pan, as it’ll dry out the meat!

Here are some suggestions for less-than-ordinary burger fillings and toppings. Alongside the serving ideas, try a crunchy, fresh green salad and a side of rice.

Greek Lamb Burgers with Black Olives, Feta and Tzatziki

Using halal lamb, mix into your burger mix fresh oregano and parsley, some cumin and black olives. You can either stuff the burger with feta cheese before cooking, or add it on top. (To stuff the burger, you need to make an extra patty and squeeze the delicious filling between the two before moulding and cooking.)

Serve with: feta; sundried tomatoes, a handful of rocket, tzatziki (which you can buy or make with yoghurt, cucumber, dill, garlic and a squeeze of lemon).

Thai Beef Burgers with Sesame, Peanuts and Peppers

This time, add to the mix a splash of soy sauce, some chopped ginger, red hot chili, and fresh coriander.
